MONTHLY CIRCULAR.
At the end of every month a circular letter is addressed by the Chairman of the
Faculty to the parent or guardian of each student, in which are stated his absences from
lectures and examinations, and any other irregularities of which he may have been
guilty, together with such further information as to the student's progress and conduct
as it may be deemed proper to communicate, or as the parent or guardian may specially
request. The object of such reports being, on the one hand, to incite the student to
steady diligence, by eliciting the commendation and encouragement of his friends, and,
on the other, to restrain him from idleness and disorder, or to urge him to amendment
by their admonition and advice, their usefulness greatly depends upon the prompt and
judicious attention they receive from those to whom they are addressed. Parents and
guardians, therefore, cannot be too earnest in communicating such advice or encouragement
as the monthly reports may suggest.
